Using the cis-fused cyclopentane-1,4-lactone, (1R,5S,7R,8R)-7,8-dihydroxy-2-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-3-one (1), as starting material, 5-deoxycarba-β-l-xylo-hexofuranose (6) together with α- (12) and β-1-amino-1,5-dideoxycarba-l-xylo-hexofuranose (16) have been prepared using a number of stereoselective transformations. The key step was the regioselective opening of the epoxide (1R,5S,7R,8R)-7,8-epoxy-2-oxabicyclo-[3.3.0]oct-3-one (4) with different nucleophiles.
